Access to the commune is by Route nationale 20 from Sinsat in the north-west passing through the north of the commune and continuing south-east to Luzenac. Access to the village is by the D522 road which branches off the N20 in the commune and goes south-east through the village continuing to Les Cabannes. A railway line passes through the commune with the nearest station at Les Cabannes. Most of the commune is heavily forested with a strip of farmland along the N20 and the D522.[4]
